AT&T posts iPhone 3G information
AT&T Wireless has just posted official information about the iPhone 3G for US customers.
In addition to touting the iPhone 3G's feature-set and a 3G-coverage tool, AT&T has officially clarified upgrade pricing for existing non-iPhone owning AT&T customers (as we covered a few weeks ago, current iPhone customers are automatically eligible to upgrade at the new $299 price).
If you are an AT&T customer who does not qualify for the upgrade pricing, you can get the 8 GB iPhone 3G for $399.99 and the 16 GB iPhone 3G for $499.99 -- or a $200 premium. A two-year contract must still be signed.
AT&T has also announced that the iPhone 3G will be available at 8 a.m. on Friday, July 11, 2008 at AT&T retail stores.
Even more exciting -- for the contract-averse among us -- AT&T states:
"Coming soon, AT&T will offer a no-commitment option of $599 for 8GB and $699 for 16GB."
AT&T has also bundled together the iPhone data plan (which is a requirement) and their voice plans in one manageable chunk.
Plans start at $69.99 for 450 anytime minutes, 5000 night and weekend, unlimited mobile-to-mobile and iPhone 3G data. AT&T's unlimited voice plan including iPhone 3G service is $129.99. SMS text message bundles are available for $5 (for 200 messages a month), $15 (for 1500 messages a month) and $20 (for unlimited text messages) a month, or $0.20 per message.
AT&T even put together a handly iReady Checklist for new and old customers alike.
Thanks Kevin (and everyone else who sent this in)!
